"RIO DE JANEIRO, the Wonderful City..." Rio de Janeiro by Slydevil
Rio de Janeiro Travel Guide: 4,270 reviews and 6,526 photos
The citizens of ten-million-strong RIO DE JANEIRO call it the Cidade Maravilhosa ( Wonderful City) - and there can't be much argument about that.
Rio sits on the southern shore of a landlocked harbor within the magnificent natural setting of Guanabara Bay.The panoramic view of Rio is breathtaking, and even the concrete skyscrapers which dominate the city's skyline add to the attraction.
Although riven by inequality, Rio de Janeiro has great style. Its international renown is bolstered by a series of symbols that rank as some of the great landmarks in the world, the Corcovado ("hunchback") mountain supporting the great statue of Christ the Redeemer; the rounded incline of Sugar Loaf mountain, standing at the entrance to the bay; and the famous sweep of Copacabana beach, probably the most notable length of sand on the planet. It's a setting enhanced by the annual, frenetic sensuality of Carnaval, an explosive celebration
